A 14-year old girl who raped by five men at Nkawkaw in the Eastern
Region, Ghana says she has been contemplating suicide for some time now.

The traumatised girl dropped out of school at Class Four after her ordeal and
says she is being haunted by the dastardly incident which has left her with
life-threatening complications.

Her revelations come as the Nkawkaw police arrested a third suspect, Awudu
Kamiru, an 18-year-old head porter. The victim was strangled by her attackers
in an attempt to murder her after raping with her.

The attackers confessed
to Nhyira FM the plan was to conceal their illegal act and avoid a possible
arrest. But a Good Samaritan who found her in an unconscious state in the Trado
stream saved her life. That act has since left her with walking difficulties
whilst she bleeds profusely from her private parts.

Police have so far arrested three suspects in
connection with the act. Twenty-five-year-old Cobbler and ex-convict Yaw Preko
and a driver’s mate, Mohammed Adamu were the first two to be arrested and
arraigned before an Nkawkaw Magistrates Court.

The two, who have since
pleaded for leniency after admitting to the offence of defilement, conspiracy
to co commit crime and attempted murder. are expected back in court onApril 7, 2017.

A third suspect, Awudu Kamiru, was arrested last
weekend after Adamu led police to his hideout. Kamiru has been identified by
the victim as the one who kicked her down before leading to her attack.

Nkawkaw Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent
Sarfo Peprah says efforts are underway to arrest two more suspects who are at
large. Two other persons said to have taken part in the gang rape have been
identified only as Junior and Sarfo.

Apart from the trauma, the girl says some residents in her neighbourhood
have been making fun of her. She tells Nhyira FM's Ohemeng Tawiah that she has
been contemplating suicide as an option.

This means little has been done to improve the poor girl's situation since that
near-death incident. The Children's Act recommends that victims like the
14-year-girl should be supported with counselling sessions and shelter. But
this is absent in the Nkawkaw area.

Chief Superintendent Sarfo Peprah admits the absence of probation officers and
shelter to accommodate and counsel victims of sexual abuse and other crimes
committed against children makes the healing process for victims very
difficult.

“Because we have no
other alternative [shelter], they still remain where they live and just imagine
the stigma and the trauma they’ve gone through. That is not the best,” he said.

He has, therefore, appealed to non-governmental organisations to help
provide shelter for sexually abused children.
